First time poster. I started reading TFP before we had our pool built last year. I have been religious so far with following the TFP method. My main concern is the pools CH. I have a few questions.
here are my readings today:
Pool built Oct 2015
17,500 gal
Chlorine
Pebble tec
Pool temp 77F
PH 7.7
TA 100
CYA 50
FC 4.0
CC 0.0
TC 4.0
Aaand CH 550
The city water we used to fill the pool has CH of 350
My pool builder said levels up to 800 are normal here. But it seems like that much calcium would wreak havoc on my pumps and equipment. what are your thoughts on this?
It seems a bit futile to drain and fill with that water at CH of 350.
Would you recommend RO. If so what companies do a good job out her?
We will be going through our first AZ summer soon..gulp..
how fast does the Ch on average raise due to evaporation here in AZ.
Thanks
Justin
